Novo

Novo is an Unreal lunch spot in SLO! They have a pretty unique menu, I went for the late lunch and got the spring rolls, calamari, carnitas sopes, and salmon salad and everything was very good! Try to get a table outside near the creek, on a warm sunny day it’s a vibe for sure. I didn’t know coming here that their lunch menu / late lunch menu has different items so make sure to check it out in case you want something specific.

Overall this place has very fresh food, a wide array of options, and everything (including the fried calamari) tasted light and delicious. Nothing tasted greasy or old, and it was all well balanced. I’d definitely recommend coming here if you’re in SLO and getting a few items to share.

Nice service, great food. We weren't able to get an outdoor table but both indoor and outdoor seating seemed to be really nice. Highly recommended.

This restaurant was our first time visiting from out of town (reservations were on 09/11/2021). It was such a nice restaurant for all, whether it's a date night, with friends, or with family. The food was very tasty and the employees made us all safe as much as possible considering we're still in the pandemic. Masks were required upon entry. If your in town, we highly recommend this restaurant.

Easy to get a day-of reservation. Novo lettuce wrals were a hands on experience. Noodles were decently flavoured. Drinks were strong but balanced.

What a peaceful setting out back! Highly recommend this place, while it already has bunch of reviews that probably puts it on top of the list. It truly is very very nice place, patio has a creek running near it. if you are lucky to get table by that, its absolutely peaceful experience. The food is certainly equally amazing. Potatoes were surprisingly standing out. They serve tea from neighboring tea store, and it is something out of the world. Their drinks were also a highlight within the menu. Overall, you wont go wrong with ordering anything, great Americana brunch! #VeggieAbroad

Really good! The food is really good and we love their options for vegan, gluten-free. The atmosphere has cool vibes, nice terrace as a garden and great service. We went 2 nights in a row for dinner… a little disappointed the host on our second night did not accommodate us with the table we wanted(very busy at 5pm for dinner not). Most places lets you seat wherever you want(just don’t take a table of 6 for 2 people. If that made her feel important and I’m charge, so be it.

We like the place, the food, the ambiance, and the service. Both servers were extremely nice, caring and accommodating!
Thank you.

Ok, Interesting place. I think it reaches high..... Delivery was ok. However I am not sure its quite in the orbit its trying to fly in. I enjoyed the place and would b go back there but after several attempts I would choose something else. So to be clear I think that the place is a solid hit. But its not earth shaking . Its an enjoyable night not but not one for the books.

Excellent food and service, pleasant creek-side patio in the heart of historic San Luis Obispo. The menu is short but everything we ordered was tasty and there are many vegetarian options. Dog-friendly and they bought each of our dogs a water bowl.

Novo backs up to a very nice tree lined area of San Luis Creek. I cannot recommend the food, it looked and tasted like it had been sitting around for hours, but as a place to spend a short time on a warm afternoon with a cool drink I'd say why not.

What a great experience, ambience was amazing. We sat outside on the patio, it was a perfect night. Service was incredible, always checked in on us, recommended great dishes, we had such a great time. Drinks were excellent, I had the Viva La G&T, if you like gin it is a really refreshing drink. On the table we had Chow Novo, Lettuce Wraps, Caesar Salad, and Pappardelle al limon, there was nothing left on anyone's plate.

Reservations are a must as it is very popular and can have long wait times. Overall I would highly recommend eating here, enjoy the entire experience!
